Okay, the day was actually horrible until school got out. See, I have a bit of a history of being horrible at asking for days off when I can't work. This resulted in being scheduled to work during a mandatory meeting for TEC. To put it simply, I was in a drastically complicated situation. If everything didn't work exactly perfectly, I would either lose my job or lose my position as Spirit rector. I was freaking out the entire day, to the point of tears at a few select points. I mean, the entire time I was completely aware that the situation at that point was entirely out of my hands, and that all I could do was pray and hope for the very best, but I just couldn't get myself to lighten up no matter what I did.
I'd arranged to have my mom pick me up as soon as school got out, so I hurried home, changed into my uniform, and went in about an hour early to work. The way I saw it, I stood the best chance if Ryan was my shift leader, since he and I have the best relationship, but there was only a one in four chance that it'd actually be him managing my shift, so my stomach was turning flips the entire drive to Potbelly.
Well, guess who was my shift leader.
Yep, Ryan. After he smiled and clapped upon my arrival, I pretty much just told him my situation bluntly. Y'know his response? "Oh, that's absolutely no problem! So you need to be out of here around 6:30 then?" Seriously, man. I could hardly believe my freaking luck.
So I got to the meeting on time, and everything went PERFECTLY. I got my elephant costume for the entrance despite a few roadblocks, and everything went surprisingly according to plan. My co-rector and I tag-team like freaking beasts, and our team is gonna be great. TEC is one of my favorite weekends of the year, and I can tell that this fall's TEC is gonna be absolutely insane. I can hardly wait.
After heading home and just chilling out for a while, I decided to test my luck even further. See, I've been working on convincing my parents to let me go to a wizard rock concert in Ames, Iowa for WEEKS now, and just a few days earlier I'd finally convinced my mom that it was an okay idea. The only thing left to do was convince my dad of the same. We talked for a while; I acknowledged his concerns and reassured him as much as I could within reason. Ultimately, he agreed to let me go, and OH MY GOD I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT. The concert's on November 4th, which is rather inconvenient timing (it's a school night, and the day after my brother's birthday) but I am sosososooo excited. Even this early on, I can guarantee that this is gonna be one of my most memorable experiences...ever? Ahhh, I can't wait!
Anyways, that's pretty much the extent of the stuff I wanted to record. I'll catch you guys later!
